1-10 of 11 Amsterdam to Europe - River Cruise Scenic River Scenic Jewel Reviews
Before the cruise, whenever we called, the people were always friendly and helpful.
We told them we're staying an extra 3 nights in Zurich, but they couldn't take us to the hotel because it's wasn't a partner hotel, which is fair enough. But they also couldn't take us to a partner hotel and let us walk to our hotel. They also wouldn't take us to the Zurich airport unless we had a flight AND we ...
This was our first river cruise and first time traveling post-COVID. Scenic exceeded our expectations. Service was excellent. Staff could not have been more attentive. Having several tour choices in each port was a treat. Salzburg luncheon and show was held in an eye opening location, just like the movie. Concert at Palais LIchtenstein was the highlight of the cruise. All meals were varied ...
Our travel agent recommended Scenic. The all inclusive feature made it attractive and a great choice. The ship was top of it's class, clean and well kept. The staff could not be beat, friendly, professional and always pleasant, remembered everyone's names and you never lacked for refreshments. The shore excursions were great but often exhausting and challenging for those with mobility issues. The ...
This was our first trip on Scenic and we were pleasantly surprised. We were on the Diamond Deck in a Balcony Room. It was very nice and small but manageable. The balcony was a plus. Our room service was excellent. We did get a butler who was wonderful and very personable but he seemed to have other duties which kept him busy. We did get the "special dinner" which was excellent and fun to try ...
Positives
-Scenic Jewel is beautiful, well-appointed and our individual room (205) was ingeniously laid-out and comfortable.
-Butler service was a nice touch.
-Staff and crew were first-rate. The staff was most professional and delivered first-class service with a smile, many learning passenger names once the badges were left off. The answer was never “no” but always “of course.” When ...
To celebrate / commiserate for my wife's 80th birthday and for mine to come shortly !
Our first experience of river cruising , though we had been well looked after by Fred Olsen in the past. Though one might feel that it is an expensive venture in the first instance, because it is an " all in " package , it proved to be very good value for money. EVERYTHING is included.
Crew are ultra ...
When searching cruise lines most stated they were all inclusive but when I would talk to some of the cruise lines when researching I would find limitation the choices for excursions, limited on beverages, and free time. SCENIC is litereally all inclusive.
We chose SCENIC based on the luxury ratings and great reviews, but mostly for it's all-inclusiveness. The ammenities included our own GPS ...
We booked this cruise to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary and were not disappointed. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. The ship is modern and well appointed and was kept spotlessly clean. The entire crew is a credit to Scenic and you were made to feel welcome at all times. The cabin had a balcony which increased the floor space and gave great views of the passing scenery. ...
Jewels of Europe
We chose this cruise to see as much of Europe as we could as well as do a cruise.
It met all our expectations and more,our only complaint was we were sometimes to exhausted to enjoy all that was on offer.
Everything went like clock work in every aspect of the tour.
The crew and staff were very friendly and helpful,And made the the cruise even better.
History was the ...
It was a freezing sunny day when we boarded the Scenic Jewel, we were made to feel very welcome and our butler explained all amenities to us in great detail. We were on the top deck (diamond) and had choosen a junior suite. The cabin as with all river cruise lines was small with very little hanging space and one has to be a great packer to put everything away. However it was The bathroom that made ...
